No one is born a rapist or a murderer or a terrorist. Monsters are made by the societies and world they live in. And if you refuse to recognize the systems and attitudes and, yes, the injustices that make them, you'll just make more. Understanding why things happen isn't defending them.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Eggs recalled due to salmonella. Blueberries due to E. coli. Popsicles that might contain glass. Bread that might have nails in it. 30,000 pounds of beef because Trump’s USDA failed to inspect it. I guess one way to bring down Americans’ grocery bills is to leave us with nothing safe to buy.

After a donation, Trump intervened to let Live Nation-Ticketmaster off the hook in its monopoly trial. After Bezos buttered him up, Amazon got a slap on the wrist for allegedly tricking people into Prime accounts. After cutting business deals with them, he pardoned crypto felons. See a pattern?

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Amazing

In the week after the June 24 primary election for mayor, I was determined to meet with voters in conservative neighborhoods where
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Astoria), a democratic socialist, had performed surprisingly well. In a Howard Beach precinct where Mamdani won, I met a couple who, despite being conservative, voted for Mamdani because they bizarrely thought he had run "to the right" of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also believed he was Italian-American, as his name ended in an
"'" and he was from Astoria.
When I dug further into why they thought he was running "to the right" of Cuomo, they noted that it was because he discussed "prices" and
"cost of living," as Donald Trump had in 2024.
They both voted for Trump. They had a hard time believing Mamdani was a socialist because they believed socialists "support making everything more expensive. 1"

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or simply sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Donald Trump wants to stoke so much fear and hatred that people forget this. Do not.

Trump cut funding for Medicaid, food stamps, education…the list goes on. All on the pretense that we can’t afford it. Yet, apparently we can afford $330 million – and counting – on National Guards roaming D.C. with no clear strategy or measurable outcomes. There’s always money, just not for us.

So not only are taxpayers footing a huge portion of the bill for Trump's vanity ballroom project, but we're also going to be paying if and when Trump guts regulations or enforcement actions to benefit his corporate donors. Everything is for sale at this White House — while we pay the price.

Just want to remind everyone that Elon Musk canceled $400 million in food aid for Gaza when he destroyed USAID because he said "we should treat Gaza like Japan during World War 2." That's who you're defending. He's a racist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, mass murdering bigot.

The entire US middle class - about 20% of the population - has a collective net worth of $13 trillion. The bottom 50% of the US population COMBINED has a net worth of $4 trillion. Elon Musk has a net worth of a trillion dollars by himself.
